[users] how to use replace when you have hundreds of words?

[Peter van Summeren]

Hello,
I have a list of hundreds of words in the csv-format: word;replacement
I can not do that manually.
I would like to preserve the style/format of the words in the document +
replacing them automatically from the list.
Does anyone know how to do this?
with friendly greetings,

Best will be to type over this, even if it takes away the line. Then, 
you choose Underline. When you print it out, it will look the same.

I encountered the same problem when I tried to upgrade OO, the installation
was going to create a new directory. My solution is to always uninstall the
old one before upgrading to the newer version. I don't  like it, so
sometimes I just keep using an stable version for a long time and ignore
those minor updates. For your problem, I think maybe you can try to
uninstall all the versions in your PC via control panel and delete all
left-overs by hand. Then make a clean installation of the latest version.
Since each version occupies a different directory, uninstalling one version
probably will not greatly disturb others versions, but it's my guess only.

Best regards.

Or right-click, select Properties, then 'Open With' and then select the
appropriate OOo program to open with.  The problem with Ubuntu is that
unless you uninstall the Ubuntu OO version and the ubuntu-desktop the
links still go to the Ubuntu'ized version.

Possibly.

The ability to start a program from the MIME type is a function of the
OS, not OO.o, or more correctly in Ubuntu, a function of Gnome itself. I
use IceWM so i cannot direct you to the exact place for setting up file
associations in Gnome.

[users] Problem with file associations

[jimw wagner]

I am using the official downloaded version of  OpenOffice 2.2.0, working 
on Ubuntu linux.


The problem is that double-clicking on an .odt file does not open it, 
not unless I put in the exact path to the program.


This is an annoyance, though I haven't felt sufficiently annoyed to 
complain about it until now.  It is a bit of a pain to have to either 
open OpenOffice and track down the path to the document, or click on the 
document and put in the path to OpenOffice.


It was working the same in the previous versions of OpenOffice as well.

Is this a problem brought about by not using the Ubuntu build of 
OpenOffice?  I hesitate to go to the Ubuntu build because they always 
build in a lot of bugs.


Any suggestions would be welcome.

Dear Michael

I can understand your frustration with this failure after downloading
a 140 Mb file on a 56K modem...
Maybe it would be a better option to try and find a CD with
OpenOffice.org for your Mac. I know some computer magazines come with
a free CD that includes OOo, but most of the time it will be the
Windows (or maybe a Linux) version, not the one for the Mac. Maybe a
cybercafé or public library will offer you the possibility of a faster
download. You could burn the dmg file on a CD and install it on your
Mac at home.
Take a look at the install help at
• http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/faq/installing/X11.html (for the
X11 windowing program you'll need to use OOo on Mac -that is till the
native Aqua version will be ready later this year)
(The right version of X11User.pkg sits on your OS 10.4.x (Tiger)
installation disks)
*  Once you have downloaded OpenOffice.org for the Mac (in your case
the PPC version, not the Intel one I suppose), you will have a disc
image, which you will need to open.
* Drag and drop the application inside the disc image into the
Applications folder (or anywhere else on your hard disk for that
matter).
* As the same user that completed the previous step, run
OpenOffice.org for the first time, you will be asked if you want to
use your Mac OS X fonts. If you do a conversion process will occur.
The time it takes depends on how many fonts you have installed, and
how fast your machine is. Your original fonts will be left untouched.

I think this is cosmetic rather than problematical.  The 
identification is just a text string, not anything functional.  You 
can see it in the Properties dialogue, but - as you say - not change it there.


If something changed the association on your system of .odt files to 
Microsoft Word, then it will presumably have done this properly, as 
it were, including changing this text identifier of the file 
type.  You say you changed the association back; if you did this the 
obvious and easy way - through Open With > and then ticking the 
"Always ..." box - you will have changed the association back to what 
you want, but without correcting the identifier.


To change this in Windows XP, open Windows Explorer ("My Computer") 
and go to Tools | Folder Options... | File Types.  Scroll down to and 
select the relevant extension, and then select Advanced.  The file 
type text string can be edited there.


I trust this helps.

I installed the Sun plugin on my work computer.  While it now shows Word
as an association, OO still opens when I click on the file.  It is
possible for a file to have multiple associations, though only one can
be default.  What happens when you double click on an ODT file?

[users] Query re rank ordering data

[Dr John Barrow]

Hi

I am using Calc [ OpenOffice.org (v2.0.2) ] running under W2k.

I wish to rank order some data (which is basically easy I know using
the function RANK) but my problem introduces a twist to this and I
can't find how to solve it.

In a Calc spreadsheet, I am recording ticket sales data from a number
of shows and want to rank order the sales figures as the days pass in
order of (a) number of tickets sold, and (b) sales revenue.  The data
is entered into the spreadsheet daily and is automatically totalled to
give 'close of business' totals.  It is the totals which I wish to
rank.

For example ...

At close of business on day 1 suppose the total figs are ...
Showname Sales Showname Revenue
Show 1  5  Show 1  40
Show 2  8  Show 2  80
Show 310  Show 3100

That's easy, they're all in the correct order anyway and line
themselves without any intervention from me.

But, suppose on day 2 these have changed to ...
Showname Sales Showname Revenue
Show 112  Show 1  96
Show 2  8  Show 2  80
Show 310  Show 3100

I want to rank order the data as follows ...
Showname Sales Showname Revenue
Show 2  8  Show 2  80
Show 310  Show 1  96
Show 112  Show 3100

What I want is for the daily changes in the total figures to make the
rank ordering change automatically and keep the correct showname at
the same time.

On the numerical data I can use the function SMALL to do the numerical
part of the task on each column (Sales, Revenue).  But, as I say, I
need the shownames to accompany any moves in the rankings otherwise
it's a dog's breakfast.  That is my problem.  I need to find a way of
linking the alphabetical entries in the Showname columns to the
corresponding data in Sales and Revenue so that all move 'in step'.

Can anyone give me any pointers?

Cheers

Give us some information like your operating system. How are
you creating these files how are you trying to open them? What
are you doing or trying to do?

Also if you did not know this we are all volunteer users and
not paid tech support, none of us work for Openoffice.
  


When you say Word do you mean as in MS Office  or do you really mean 
Write as in Openoffice.org?


Give more detail of how you were being switched to Openoffice.org 
and from what?


Probably the easiest thing for you to do is un-install OOo and 
download the newest version, if you don't have it, and install 
again.


Tell us the operating system you are using. I assume it is Windows, 
but which one?


Also it will work better for you to send to the list and not just to 
me. More people will see your post and can respond to it maybe

You should subscribe to the list so we don't have to send you a copy

You have probably discovered - as I just have - that if you enter 
Ctrl+Space into the "Replace with" box of the Find & Replace dialogue 
box, you get an ordinary space, not a non-breaking one.  So that's 
the problem.  But by experimentation, I find that if I enter a 
non-breaking space somewhere in the document itself and then 
copy-and-paste it into the "Replace with" box, everything works as 
you would expect.  If you do this, you can do a simple find and

Sorry, [EMAIL PROTECTED], this does not help:

Let me repeat my question in other words:

How to substitute all ordinary blanks by non-breaking ones via the "find
+ replace" dialog?

Does someone know how this is accomplished?
===

Two reasons why I think you got me wrong:

1. u+0020 is an ordinary blank, not the non-breaking one
2. how to get a special character to the substitution field in
substitution dialog?

Not sure how it could be clearer unless you are using a different web 
site from the one I'd expect you to use.

1. Go to www.openoffice.org
2. Click the big green "Get OpenOffice.org version 2.2.1" button
3. Click the big green "Download OpenOffice.org" button
4. Choose your Operating System - I presume Windows.
5. Wait till the file is downloaded to the folder *you* choose (desktop, 
perhaps)

6. Run the downloaded file

On the other hand, there is no "UK version". You can install a UK 
English dictionary so that your documents will be spell checked in that 
language but the default GUI is in US English. Even I, a renowned 
pedant, don't care about that. There are "language packs" that make the 
GUI appear in French, Spanish and other languages but there isn't one 
for UK English. You can also download several different dictionaries to 
have different documents checked in different languages or different 
paragraphs/sentences/words within a document checked in different 
languages. See the Help about dictionaries and/or browse the 
documentation pages at http://documentation.openoffice.org/


If you have a slow and/or pay-by-the-minute internet connnection you may 
prefer to buy the software on CD. There's a list of vendors linked from 
the download page under "Order Openoffice.org on CD". Expect to pay not 
more than USD/GBP10 for the CD plus P&P. Please note that we make no 
recommendations, nor do we provide any guarantees about any of the 
vendors; caveat emptor.


Alternatively computer magazines often carry OpenOffice on their free 
CDs/DVDs; just make sure (a) it's the lates version of OpenOffice and 
(b) it's the version for your OS - the Windows version won't run on 
Linux and so on.

If you want to type in the information but have the line there, try 
this, replace the line with your text and use the underline button 
on the text that you replaced the line with in the document.

a) Install the appropriate dictionaries, thesauri, and
hyphenation dictionaries.
">File >Wizards >Install new dictionaries" should bring up
the tool for installing dictionaries.
* This tool will automatically check to see if it is the
most current version.  If it is not, then it will ask if you
want to update to the current version.
* The user interface for version 1.7 is in 27 languages;
* It lists roughly 120 dictionaries for spell checking;
** There are some ---probably less than a dozen ---
dictionaries for OOo that are not listed in this tool. For
the most part, the unlisted dictionaries are very new, very
specialized, or very large.
* Only install dictionaries etc that you use, and need.
OOo performance can be severely degraded if too many
dictionaries, etc are installed.  [My experience is that
performance degradation is noticeable at around 5
dictionaries, and is complete at around 100 dictionaries.
The amount of RAM, and your chip speed will affect the
performance degradation.]

b) Create and use language specific styles;
* For each language that is used, create a set of paragraph,
character, numbering, and page styles. Use those styles when
creating, or editing documents. This way spell checking will
be correctly done. Language specific styles also allow for
transparent grammar checking from within OOo.
* A template that contains the start of language specific
styles can be found at
http://www.esnips.com/web/OOoRelatedThings.
* Uncheck "Spell check in all languages" unless you want
your work to contain spelling errors.

Obsolete stuff:

* DictInstall is obsolete, and works only on Windows. It can
be obtained from http://ooodocs.sourceforge.net/dictinstall/

Please do *not* start a new question by replying to an old one as this causes 
several problems:
1) most email software will correctly think that your email is a response to 
the email you are "replying" to, and will indicate this by displaying your 
email as a child of the original email
2) because of this, people not interested in the original email may ignore 
your question
3) people may think that the original email has a reply(yours) so that they do 
not have to give it a reply
So in conclusion, more people will read your email if it looks like the start 
of a new thread rather than the reply to an old one.

[users] How declare a text to be of a certain language?

[Rolf Schumacher]

In MSWord I can select a text and declare the language it is written in.
The spellchecker is recognizing my declaration. How to perform this in
OOWriter?

The story:

In a document that was maintained with MSWord, yet,
It seems that a wild intermix of English(UK), English(USA)
German(Ger..), German(Lux..),was assigned to different paragraphs, even
single words.

Now I'm editing this document with Writer and wonder how I can select
English(UK) as the spellchecking language for all the text.

Here is some config information:

"Tools/Options/Language Settings/Languange/Language of Local setting" is
set to "English(UK)"
"Tools/Options/Language Settings/Languange/Default languages for
documents Western" is set to "English(UK)"
"Tools/Options/Language Settings/Writing Aids/OpenOffice.org HuntSpell
SpellChecker is selected.
"Edit ..." is set to "English(UK)"
"Options" shows a checkmark at "Check spelling as you type"

However, if I right-click a misspelled word I always get German corrections.

[users] Unexpected error

[Jean Montémont]

Hi,

I'm using version 2.2.1 of OpenOffice and I have this problem : when I 
want to edit a macro created with openoffice basic, a message appears 
and tells me that an unexpected error has occurred and OOo closes. I've 
tried to uninstall OOo and to install it again, and even to install the 
2.2.0 version, but the problem still persists.


Are you aware of a possible incompatibility with Windows XP or another 
component ?


Thanks for your answer.

 Jean

Re: [users] OOo Basic

The MakeProperty function is not part of OOo (at least I do not think that
it is included). One definition for it is as follows:

Function MakeProperty( Optional cName As String, Optional uValue ) As
com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
   Dim oPropertyValue As New com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
   If Not IsMissing( cName ) Then
  oPropertyValue.Name = cName
   EndIf
   If Not IsMissing( uValue ) Then
  oPropertyValue.Value = uValue
   EndIf
   MakePropertyValue() = oPropertyValue
End Function

First, it creates an object (well, a struct) of type PropertyValue. A
property value contains a name and an object of type variant (so it can
contain anything. If the name and/or value is included, then it is
included in the property. This is a fast way of creating a property value
and adding it to an array.

This is a time saving routine because it is easier to declare an array and
then use this to create property values than to create a properly
dimenstioned array of property values and fill them in.

Dear OpenOffice 2.2.1 folks,   Saturday, July 14, 2007

Thank you for creating the latest versionof Open Office.  I have been a
registered user ever since receiving my first version, 1.1.0 on a CD.
I have no issues to report, but I had what I think was an error when I
tried registering my newly downloaded copy, v. 2.2.1.  On this machine, a
Gateway Laptop I use the e-mail address, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, and I'm
using your OpenOffice 2.2.1 on my HP too under the e-mail address
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
I have one question:
Should I remove my version 1.1.0 before installing OpenOffice 2.2.1 ?
Please send me a snail mail address where I can send you folks a
donation.
Thank you again for your magnificent Office suite, OpenOffice 2.2.1.

Sincerely,   Mike Goodold   <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>  too.

[users] come fare

[pv]

Salve,
ho una questione da porre e non so a chi rivolgerla.
Uso OpenOffice.org 2.2.0 su  windows 2000 e vorrei usare Calc per alcuni 
fogli di calcolo creati con Exel.
Il problema non sussiste nell'apertura del file, che Calc apre senza 
problemi, ma nella facilita di modificarlo perchè il file in questione 
ha una pagina che fa da database organizzata per righe dove in alcune 
celle vengono inseriti i dati e ,sulla stessa riga, in altre ci sono 
delle formule che fanno dei calcoli.
Con Exel esite un comando  "dati -> modulo" che crea una maschera in cui 
è neccessario inseriti i dati utili e da solo copia ed esegue le formule 
delle riga superiore.
In Calc esiste un metodo per far copiare le formule della riga superiore 
quando si inseriscono i dati, evitando il copia e incolla manuale?
O si deve creare una maschera che fa questo, in questo caso come creo la 
maschera?


Spero di essere stato chiaro nell'esporre il mio problema.
Grazie per l'attenzione
Paolo

Re: [users] How declare a text to be of a certain language?

[S Perry]

I understand your frustration, because you have set nearly everything correctly 
to achieve what you desire. However, for the last option you mention: "Options" 
shows a checkmark for "Check spelling as you type" you must click on the 
scrollbar (right side of the box) and continue down the list to "Check in all 
languages" and "German spelling - old" and make sure that there is no checkmark 
in either of those last two boxes.
   
  This should help.

Just guessing: did you install the X11 SDK or the X11user? It should
be the X11user.pkg?
Does the OS still say X11 isn't installed? Can you find X11 in your

You posted your messages to a public mailing list, that many people can

The easiest way is to go to www.openoffice.org and click on "get
openoffice.org", then "Download OpenOffice.org.  Select the Windows
version and continue from there.  Pay attention to what folder is it
being saved to.  After the download is completed, go to that folder and
double click on the installer.  That should get you going.

You can use different headers and footers on different pages in your
document, so long as the pages use different page styles. OpenOffice.org
provides several predefined page styles, such as First page, Left page
and Right page, or you can create a custom page style.
You can also use the mirrored page layout if you want to add a header to
a page style that has different inner and outer page margins. To apply
this option to a page style, choose Format - Page, click the Page tab,
and in the Layout settings area, choose Mirrored in the Page layout box.
For example, you can use page styles to define different headers for
even and odd pages in a document.
1.Open a new text document.
2.Choose Format - Styles and Formatting and click the Page Styles icon
in the Styles and Formatting window.
3.Right-click "Right Page" in the list of page styles and choose Modify.
4.In the Page Styles dialog, click the Header tab.
5.Select Header on and click the Organizer tab.
6.In the Next Style box, select "Left Page".
7.Click OK.
8.In the Styles and Formatting window, right-click "Left Page" in the
list of page styles and choose Modify.
9.In the Page Styles dialog, click the Header tab.
10.Select Header on and click the Organizer tab.
11.In the Next Style box, select "Right Page".
12.Click OK.
13.Double-click "Right Page" in the list of page styles to apply the
style to the current page.
14.Enter text or graphics in the header for the Left Page style. After
the next page is added to your document, enter text or graphics in the
header for the Right Page style.

Hi Debbie,

wherever you have installed OOo from, go to this folder/CD and start the

installation. Choose modify and select  the OOo modules you want to have.

Problem: I'm trying to create a 4 page document with a header on all the
pages except the first one. I've tried to use "section" to absolutely no
avail. I've tried creating a section on the first page, the last three pages
and on both the first page and the last three pages. Each time I create a
header on one of the last three pages (generally page 2) it creates a header
on the first page. This, then, surely defeats the whole object of having
"sections" in place :(
